Can you give me an example? Here is the example that I have checked tonight. It is a "Nuclear Power Plant" and no restriction about it. Any one can fly just next or right over it. It is on the attached. Cheers, Attachments Nuclear.PNG (676 views, 179.00 KB)

Guys, this problem is solved by Serge, "We in Switzerland are allowed to fly over N.C. therefore no 'Prohibited and Restricted' area Icon is a cooling tower" Therefor I apologies for my misunderstanding. Obviously they are shown as a prohibited areas on the other countries like; Germany, France, Italy and Austria etc. I think that guy was talking about that, was a French Pilot ( Military).. Sorry Tim..

Is that correct? If so, I can be happy that SkyDemon is not at fault here.

It was because of one our Club members (Guess French Army Pilot) was questioning all of us. Serge, brought clearing on this. But still on SD, all those Nuclear Water Towers are shown as a Chimney and are same size and shape like the Antennas. Air Nav Pro makes the difference on this I guess. Thanks for your participation on this.Cheers,
